Crazy Headphone problem? Speaker no longer works in some cases

Gang,
Basically my phone work just fine. But when I get a call I have to put it on speaker phone to listen to anything. Also when I adjust the volume it always indicates Headphone.
and Yes I do not have my headphones in. I looked at the cleaning thing and that is not the problem as the iPhone does detect that the headphones are pulled out.
I restored, rebooted, checked settings, you name it. Nothing comes out of the speakers when you touch the keyboard no clicks and yes these are all enabled.
I have not as of yet enabled Bluetooth devices, but turned that off also.
Everything seems to work fine if I do use the headphone.
Any ideas? driving me crazy...
Thanks
Gordon

I still think the problem lies in your headset jack. Maybe plugging in/out 20-30 times?
Also, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If this doesn't work, try restoring. See p. 141 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

My speaker no longer works on my iPhone 6

Maryvgal,
Speakerphone is a very nice feature and we want you to be able to enjoy it. How long has this issue been happening for? Also, if you try to play music are you able to hear it without headphones or other accessories? Any physical or liquid damage to the phone?

After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted. Anyone else experience this? Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

I have an Iphone 3 and all of a sudden the speaker no longer works on the phone. I have gone into settings and played around with the volumethere, but that made no difference. Is there something else I should be doing?

Help! Speaker no longer works!

My speaker is now longer working! I can only hear someone on the phone is it is on "speaker phone." I've tried doing a soft reset. Any suggestions?

igrok-mac in a previous thread found a solution that seems to have helped many with similar problems. The thread is here:

Before you take it in, just try playing something in the ipod app while headphones are plugged in and then pull the headphone cord out. Just a hunch, because I let the phone go to sleep last night with headphones plugged in, pulled them out before awaking the phone and couldn't hear anything. Then a plug in and pull out and all was working fine. First and only time this has happened to me. <<</div>

N70 Phone's Handset speaker no longer works

Can anyone tell me why I suddenly no longer hear calls on my N70 unless I have a headset plug or go to loudspeaker. Its like all of a sudden my handset no longer works.

Sounds like you've got a faulty earpiece...
Backup your phone, and reset it to factory settings... not that I think that will work, but it's worth a try...
If not, take it to a Nokia Service Centre and they should be able to sort it for you.

Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.

Since the most recent Firefox update Flash (v.10.3) no longer works on some sites

I had problems with the Flash v.11.whatever recent upgrade so uninstalled it and installed v.10.3etc. It worked fine for all sites until the most recent Firefox update a few days ago (27th August, 2012?). Now Flash will not work on some sites e.g. UK's Channel 4 On Demand service. Other browsers work fine on same site e.g. Chrome. Can you guys at Mozilla try and get Firefox communicating with Flash again? Thanks.

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

Paste and match style does not work in some cases

Dear Sir
My "Paste and Match Style" does not work with some sites.

What happens if you put table Table_1 into the Analytic View?
Also go ahead and and update HANA, Rev.60 is very old by now.

Why check_ponit took very long time in some case?

In our project, we have a check_ponit thread, we found some time check_ponit took very long time. Most case it took only several minisecond.
The update data is same as quickly check_point case.
What factor will impact checkponit time?

Hello,
Checkpoints write data from the log file(s) to the actual database files. That means it is affected primarily by the amount of data in the log that has not yet been checkpointed. This is usually how much data has been committed since the last checkpoint. It could also be affected by other disk activity on the same partition from any other aspect of the system.

George

My speaker no longer works in Ipad 2 after 7.1.1 update

I recently updated my ipad 2 to ios 7.1.1 and my speaker stopped working,one day everything worked fine, the next no speaker, I am not a happy camper. The volume control no longer controls the volume only sound effects and the mute button only controls screen lock or sound effects mute.
if I plug in headphones then my volume controls return and it works fine, but disappears once I remove the headphones.
I have tried, rebooting, resetting, etc, followed half a dozen "fixes" online, none work of course.
took my device to the apple store on the opposite side of town, waited in line to speak to someone who tells me a) I need to make an appointment to see an expert, which is what I thought I was standing in line for. B) if its a speaker they need to replace my device and it will cost me $250 for a 32GB Ipad, or I could go online and use chat, but apparently my warranty is out so they wanted $20 to answer my question thru chat or phone, to tell me my warranty is out and I need to pay $250 for a new one.
I don't understand why I need to pay $250 for something APPLE did to my device, especially seeing multiple complaints online for the same issue.
can anyone help me? Can I rollback the firmware? This is ridiculous.

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Problems + Itunes no longer works

Hello,
I recently used a system optimization tool because my system in running pretty slow. It worked somewhat, but now I am having problems in other area that previously were just fine. For instance, whenever (since the optimization) I open iTunes, iTunes takes forever to open and no longer contains my large library of music that was once there. I did a little snooping around the files in my hard drive to see if I could tell if there is an obvious problem. Well, there is, but I can't figure what to do about it.
In the "user" file in the hard drive there are duplicates of the desktop folder. I am thinking that the optimization took the the desktop contents and placed them into a folder and stored them in the User folder....Arggghh
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
Two more questions:
1.) My hard drive is filling up, so I want to upgrade it to a large hard drive. I've read articles, where people have upgraded there hard drive on the same or lesser models of the emac 1ghz g4, without any problems. The current hard drive is a 5400 rpm 40gb. I would like to put in a 160-320 GB 7200 rpm hard drive in. My question then is, will there be a definite problem if I do so?
2.) I want to upgrade to Tiger or Leopard. Do I have to install Tiger before installing Leopard? Or, can I just wipe the hard drive clean and install Leopard? I tried installing Tiger from a disk my wife owns only to find a "grey/ you need to restart you computer now screen." My theory is, the only way this computer will install that Tiger disk, is if I wipe the hard drive clean first.
Whew.... Sorry for the naggingly longish post. But, I have to ask because I need to keep this computer for at least another 1.5 years.
Thank you!
James

I can only guess what the optimization tool did, so I won't. Duplicate desktop files would normally be bad, but please be a little more descriptive. Are there duplicate folders in your home folder? iTunes looks in a the iTunes folder in your Music folder which is in your home folder. Is that OK?
One possibility of what to do next: get an external HD and move all your important files to it. Erase your internal HD and install 10.4 or 10.5. Then, move important files back and/or access them from the external HD. It's honestly a bit dificult to advise you exactly what to put on the external HD and what to put on the internal HD without knowing what sorts of files and apps you use the most - so you could post back with that info or actually any more specific info on the app you used to clean up your HD and what's going on in your home folder.
Is the disk you got form your wife grey or black? Grey disks are intended for specific Macs, black ones will work on any Mac that meets the system requirements for the OS on the disk.
Installing a new internal HD in an eMac is not impossible, but it's going to take an hour or two if you've never done it. Also, make sure you don't get a SATA HD, as that won't work in your eMac. You'll need a plain old ATA, or PATA HD.
As for 10.4 or 10.5 - you'll want at least 1 GB of memory installed to get reasonable performance out of 10.5, and a 1GHz eMac may not be the best Mac for 10.5. 10.4 install disks are getting harder and more expensive to come by.
hth and post back with more info, someone will give you more info to think about.

Then you most likley have a hardware problem. Nothing we can do here except suggest to get it replaced under warranty or repaired.

Right speaker no longer works?

Hey everyone. So the right speaker on my Macbook Pro just stopped working properly. When I go into the system preferences > sound > output and try to just have it come out of the right speaker (instead of having it balanced between the 2), it comes out really quiet and with this weird echoing/tinging sound. Any advice? There hasn't been any damage or injury to the computer... Thanks!

Without knowing exactly what is wrong, hard to tell if MBP is worth getting fixed. An Apple Store will diagnosis the problem for free. Ask them how much the repairs will be. Once you find out what the problem is, call an AASP & ask about the cost of repairs. May be cheaper than an Apple Store.
